How much is it really worth.....
Amongst the dreams of early Muslims is one related by Yasir ibn Nu'ama who said,
A girl died in the al-jafir plague.
Her father met her in a dream after her death & asked her to tell him about the Next World. She replied:
"My father, this is a big subject you have raised.
We know but cannot act. You can act, but do not know.
By Allah! One or two acts of glorification and one or two rak'ats of the prayer in my book of my actions...
...are preferable to me than the world and all it contains
[Ibn Al Qayyim's Kitaab Ar-rooh]
Narrated Anas RA
the Prophet SAW said
Allah will say to the person of the Hell Fire who will receive the least punishment,
"If you had everything on the earth,
would you give it a as a ransom to free yourself (i.e. save yourselfs from this Fire)?"
He will say "Yes",
then Allah will say
"While you were in the backbone of Adam, I asked you much less than this, (i.e. not to worship others besides Me), but you insisted on worshiping other besides me"
[Sahih al-Bukhari Vol.4, no.551]
